<b>Get "snippy" with an airlines' ticket agent and you may never see your luggage again. </b>

That's the experience of Dr. Esha Khoshnu, a New Jersey psychiatrist traveling to San Diego to attend a conference.

While changing planes in Phoenix, Khoshnu got testy at a Mesa Airlines ticket counter, reports KGTV news, saying, "If I had a bomb, you wouldn't find it."

The Transportation Security Administration described Khoshnu as acting "mouthy and snippy," according to KGTV.

The bomb comment touched off a security scare and FBI officials were dispatched to question Khoshnu, who was subsequently detained long enough to miss her flight.

Her suitcase, however, got past security and was loaded onto the America West jet.

When Mesa Airlines Flight 6264 landed at Lindbergh Field in San Diego the pilot was instructed to taxi to a remote area of the airport where some 35 passengers were taken off the plane and escorted onto two buses, reports City News Service.

"When we landed and quickly did a U-turn on the runway, I was like, 'They never do that.' Then, all the cars started coming and it was obvious that it was for our plane. That was the scary part," one passenger told KGTV.

City News Service reports members of the San Diego Fire Department's bomb squad searched the plane but found no explosives. Next, they removed Khoshnu's suitcase and inspected it in an open area on the grounds of the airport.

Although they found nothing suspicious, authorities blew up the bag with an explosive charge and then doused it with water.

Khoshnu was eventually released and allowed to board a later flight to San Diego. KGTV reports the Assistant U.S. Attorney in Phoenix decided her actions did not merit charges.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size=2 id=quote>

My only question in this article is....since when did <b>Fire</b> Departments have bomb squads?

Maybe since 9/11?

So, you have trouble. We all have trouble. Build a bridge and get over it.

Many fire department have had bomb squads for a long time before september 11. Basically part of their hazmat teams. Not to say that all of these teams are as proficient at police or FBI but they do have capability of identify and to a certain level rendering safe devices at a fire scenes or industrial sites. Alot of this came out of drug labs were the scene may have been booby trapped. Meth head are so paranoid and are constantly blowing themselves up when cooking.

A few mistakes. First the doctor should never have been allowed to board the plane after making the threat comment and his luggage being removed. Then the Assistiant U.S. Attorney in San Diego should have come down hard on this a--hole for all the trouble that he caused.

I find that Comical, my Neighbor In sandy Eggo was a District Attorney for the County. That guy had absolutely no Killer Instinct. For shits and giggles at the Weekly BarbeQue We would go over some of his cases, and would play a game of "Who's the Perp? " I was almost 7 for 10 Right. Just from reading the CAse reports and evidence. Yet he was baffled and waited to see what the Police could shock factor out of the suspects.

"RickUSN-

That was intelligent and useful Mudd.

But it certainly is what Ive come to expect.
